Abstract
For this economic coursework we have chosen to speak about Japan. We think that Japan is a really interesting country to speak about because of its economy which is one of the greatest in the world nowadays. The economy experienced a major slowdown starting in the 1990s following three decades of unprecedented growth, but Japan still remains a major economic power. The work is divided into six parts. The first one is a small introduction of the country (ID card, history and economy) and in the following pages you will be able to read everything about the 5 macroeconomics indicators : GDP, BOP, Unemployment rate, Inflation rate and Exchange rate. Eventually we write a small conclusion about what we learn throughout this coursework. We have decided to work in the same way for each indicator. First is a small definition of the term, then evolution figures from 2000 to 2005 (if we found the data) and explanation about them (with charts), then we compare these figures with Belgium, Europe and USA when it was possible.
